Report: Australia also likely to expel Israeli diplomat

Official Israeli sources told The Australian newspaper that there is a high chance that Australia will follow Britain's lead and also expel a high ranking Israeli diplomat. "It appears that Israeli officials have received indications in Canberra that Australia is preparing to expel a diplomat," it said in the newspaper.

Britain expelled an Israeli diplomat following the passport row that developed after the assassination of Hamas senior figure Mahmoud al-Mabhouh in Dubai, allegedly perpetrated by the Mossad. (Ynet)
